      Excellent list! I have two tips: my nail polish often chips, so to avoid it looking bad, I just use clear or very natural coloured polish; Two: rather than eyelash extensions, I use an eyelash conditioner/serum. I'm 58, blonde with fine short lashes. For the last 3 months I've used an eyelash serum every night, and my lashes look longer, darker and fuller. I've had strangers compliment me on my long natural lashes. So I would try the conditioning option before going for extensions.

      Met Dolly once, while waiting for the elevator, outside of our doc’s office, on the outskirts of Beverly Hills (not a plastic surgery doc, either, lol).. She told me I had the most beautiful alabaster skin, and quite a mysterious look (I had on a extra large black brimmed floppy hat, large black sunglasses, and an off the shoulder, long sleeve, black dress)..
      I told her it was all to protect said alabaster skin.
      It was a lovely, unexpected surprise.
      She was just as kind as she comes off as, in the media.

      Agree. If one dyes/bleaches their hair it should be maintained carefully to look good, if that's not possible then imo natural color is the best option. I also think many problems that can make your hair look frumpy could be solved by adding a leave-in conditioner suitable to your hair type to your routine.

    I know they are popular these days, but to me, a tattoo is an absolute no in every single case, no matter the location on the body. It seems to hard to find ones without them these days. I'm sure many will vehemently disagree with my comment, since they are so popular. Also, more than one earring per ear to me is a no as well.

      Pendulums swing, and I believe there is a shift happening where women are being encouraged to have natural makeup, unmarked bodies, etc. Likewise, young guys are being taught to perceive piercings/tattoos as red flags for wife material. Like it or not, every single sociological study on tattoo demographics in Western nations indicates that the less educated, mentally ill, single parents, people with risky lifestyles, etc. are more likely to have tattoos. Subconsciously, to others, a tattoo says "I have issues", or used to.
      In full transparency, the only time in my entire life I ever considered a tattoo was went I was at my lowest; and now that I'm living a great life I'm so glad I didn't...

      I think tattoos are disgusting and sadly I was one of them with a tattoo! That tattoo is removed and completely erased from my skin.
      But that doesn’t stop me admitting my mistakes are hating tattoos! Also I don’t care about being offensive, because the more tattoos they have, the nastier attitude those people develop. They are the ones who go their own way and don’t give a sh&t about other’s opinion, so why should I care about?

    @juliatarrel1674 Před 5 měsíci +8

    My main tip:
    * Decide which part of your outfit is the statement piece. You might have a perfect string of pearls. This means that your neck is the statement piece. Pick a neckline that goes well with the pearls: let this determine which dress or top you wear.
    Now, because you decided your necklace is the first place peoples' eyes land, you need to create a path for the eyes to follow.
    If the neckline naturally leads the eye down, wear a skirt or pants that flatter your legs, and end the path with your shoes. Don't wear highly embellished shoes, that would risk the shoes pulling more interest than the necklace.
    If the neckline naturally leads the eye up, make your face and hair flatter you. Start with your neck: make absolutely certain that your foundation matches with your skin and that you blend it out seamlessly. Then choose either lips or eyes to highlight, but not both. Make certain your eyeshadow and lip colour complement not only each other, but the necklace. And make sure your hairstyle doesn't impede the view of your statement necklace.
    * Use the same principle when you want to make something else your core piece of your outfit. If your hairstyle is your statement, gradually lead the eye downwards but without overtaking the beauty of your hairstyle.

  • @yomiseno

    Dear Anna,
    Thank you for giving me the courage to give away my t-shirts. I am thankful for what you taught me. It took me awhile to shift to this "level up" in appearance, and I have felt overwhelmed, that the reason why I kept buying t-shirts is because I didn't really grow in terms of decisions, tastes, etc.. and I didn't really care, and I was really lazy. I wasn't looking at the physical aspect, honestly. How it looks. It made me realize that all I do is buy clothes, wear clothes, etc..
    -- without standards for myself, but most of all, without an element of myself. An element of yourself is knowing where you look good in, and t-shirts make me look like a balloon and a bat 🦇.
    It has also made me realize I would ignore the small things in life, that would help me get success. That how you present yourself, how you work with yourself externally, no matter how smart and competent you are, if you couldn't bring yourself into the social world with elegance and sophistication, it will not always work out.
    Thank you, Anna. I am grateful for seeing u!

    I agree with all you said. I'd add that the older I get the more I think that dry skin looks kind of cheap. I have it myself so I am not trying to be judgy. There's any number of reasons for having it but I do think that exfoliating and moisturising are very important. I don't just mean the heels and elbows but also just overall skin. It tends to end up looking dirty and a bit...dead.
    I'd add that dry hair is the same.

Luckily they are fine line floral tattoos that can be definitely removed with some time and money. For now I’m enjoying the cold Scandinavian weather which means being able to hide my unwanted tattoos under long sleeves for 9/12 months in a year 😊 Acceptance and self-forgiveness are key, but in the mean time try to focus on other aspects of your levelling up journey and one day you’ll come out on the other side having learnt a big life lesson. I keep reminding myself that there many worse mistakes one can make in life and an unwanted tattoo is not as bad as you might think. Good luck!

      Well, to some people tattoos are just horrible no matter how feminine or how well done their ‘owner’ thinks their are! I don’t care if it’s a flower, your child’s birthday or some sacred heritage symbol, they all look nasty! But you people don’t care about others opinions, so I’m not worried about being offensive. I had a tattoo and got it removed a couple of years later and cannot be happier with my decision - although I can still see some tiny scars if I get a tan, but no shade of the tattoo! I was young and stupid when I got it, and have been hating tattoos ever since! I will support anyone into having the courage to admit that they hate tattoos (either their own tattoos or just in general). Somehow these days you are forced into having positive attitude towards tattoos because they happen to be personal and permanent on someone’s body, but I will fight that and stand up for myself and my hatred towards tattoos.

    I wish people get to know wat their strong perfume does to migraine & allergy sufferers . . . . . . being a little considerate, choosing a light scent perfume doesn't hurt anyone, more natural, light & bearable by all would be soooo nice !

I should have tossed it but I showed it to her. I said it smells awful on me but she said she liked it and kept using it. The thing is that everybody seems to like that perfume but me (and my daughter 17yo) and they keep asking me where I got it (after they smelled it on her)... I always tell I don't remember🤭 but every time I smell it on somebody I almost puke and have to get away from that person. I'm happy she didn't get a new bottle when it was finnished. She never figured out that you can read on the bottle who made it...
